High resolution isoelectric focusing of immunoprecipitated proteins under denaturing conditions. A simple analytical method applied to the study of complement component polymorphisms. 1984

S Rodriguez de Córdoba, and P Rubinstein, and A Ferreira

A simple analytical method for the study of structural protein polymorphisms is described. It consists of the immunoprecipitation of non-radiolabeled proteins using monospecific polyclonal antibodies followed by isoelectric focusing (IEF) under completely denaturing conditions in vertical polyacrylamide slab gels. The method uses small amounts of sample (usually unfractionated plasma or serum), requires no sophisticated equipment and allows the screening of large numbers of samples with comparatively small effort. This method has been applied in the identification of 2 human complement-component polymorphisms, C4-binding protein (C4-bp) and factor H (beta 1H).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D003180 Complement C3b Inactivator Proteins Endogenous proteins that inhibit or inactivate COMPLEMENT C3B. They include COMPLEMENT FACTOR H and COMPLEMENT FACTOR I (C3b/C4b inactivator). They cleave or promote the cleavage of C3b into inactive fragments, and thus are important in the down-regulation of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION and its cytolytic sequence.
